Overview
A 12 inch pre-seasoned cast iron skillet from Lodge with dual assist handles, made from iron and oil only, so it's free of PFOA, PTFE, and PFAS.
The dual handle design is the practical upgrade over a single long-handled skillet: a 12 inch cast iron pan gets heavy, and a second handle makes it easier to lift and carry with both hands, especially moving from stovetop to oven. Lodge also spells out that this works on grills and campfires, not just indoor stovetops and ovens.
- 12 inch pre-seasoned cast iron
- Dual assist handles
- PFOA, PTFE, and PFAS free
- Works indoors and outdoors, including campfires
Who it's for
Suits cooks who want a large, versatile cast iron pan for stovetop, oven, grill, or campfire use, and who don't mind the upkeep cast iron requires. Less suited to anyone wanting a lightweight pan or one they can put in the dishwasher without a second thought.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Dual handles make a heavy 12 inch pan easier to carry
- Works on stovetop, oven, grill, and campfire
- No PFOA, PTFE, or PFAS in the material
- Pre-seasoned and ready to use
- Heavier than a comparable non-stick pan
- Requires ongoing seasoning care rather than dishwasher cleaning
Performance notes
Cast iron holds and distributes heat evenly once it's hot, which is why it works across such a range of heat sources, from a kitchen stovetop to an open campfire. The pre-seasoning gives it a working non-stick surface out of the box, and the material itself, iron and oil with no synthetic coating, is what keeps it free of PFOA, PTFE, and PFAS.
